Happy New Year and Cover Reveal for JANUARY BLACK!

Happy New Year to all ! Hope everyone's holidays were happy ones, and your New Year's Eve full of good intentions for the coming year.... or something along those lines, at least!

One of my resolutions is to stick to a more regular blog schedule, but I haven't yet figured it out... I figure for now the idea of a plan will have to suffice. Be that as it may... I had to share a Cover Reveal from one of my fellow Crescent Moon Press authors for her new novel - JANUARY BLACK, by Wendy Russo.
( I love this cover!!!! )

The back cover reads:

Sixteen-year-old genius Matty Ducayn has never fit in on The Hill, an
ordered place seriously lacking a sense of humor. After his school’s
headmaster expels him for a small act of mischief, Matty’s future looks
grim until King Hadrian comes to his rescue with a challenge: answer a
question for a master’s diploma.

More than a second chance, this means freedom. Masters can choose
where they work, a rarity among Regents, and the question is simple.

What was January Black?

It’s a ship. Everyone knows that. Hadrian rejects that answer,
though, and Matty becomes compelled by curiosity and pride to solve the
puzzle. When his search for an answer turns up long-buried state
secrets, Matty’s journey becomes a collision course with a deadly royal
decree. He’s been set up to fail, which forces him to choose. Run for
his life with the challenge lost…or call the king’s bluff.

Wendy Russo got her start writing in the sixth grade. That story involved a talisman with crystals that had to be found and assembled before bad things happened, and dialog that read like classroom roll call. Since then, she's majored in journalism (for one semester), published poetry, taken a course on short novels, and watched most everything ever filmed by Quentin Tarantino. A Wyoming native transplanted in Baton Rouge, Wendy works for Louisiana State University as an IT analyst. She's a wife, a mom, a Tiger, a Who Dat, and she falls asleep on her couch at 8:30 on weeknights.

Her book should be available later this month, and she'll be a guest on this blog on January 17th! In the meantime you can stalk her find her on the web in the following places:

Welcome!

I'm an author, editor, magazine columnist, wife, and mother to three kids and two big dogs... not necessarily in that same order each day. I try to write every day and read a book a week, but life often gets in the way.

I write romance and adventure for young adults and the young at heart, and living next to the Atlantic Ocean influences everything I write...
